Today, I want to talk about why free speech is so important for Western Democracies. Let's start with our political system. In our political systems, the voters elect the people who govern them, by approximately one person, one vote. As the saying goes, we get the government we deserve, and it is a very important decision to make. The important thing is, to exercise this important duty, every voter must know exactly what is going on. Otherwise, if there is incomplete information, if there are things that are prevented from being widely known or discussed, it could create a biased view of things for many voters, which will greatly impact the future development of society through biased voting decisions.
Doing sociology and philosophy in real time by looking at developments in contemporary Western politics and culture, from a Moral Libertarian perspective. My mission is to stop the cultural systemist left and the authoritarian right from destroying the West's Enlightenment traditions.
